Culture Week

The Green Lion’s Culture Week is a signature program and a defining part of how we introduce travelers to the place they’re visiting. Designed as a gentle and engaging soft landing, this one-week experience helps participants settle in, find their feet and gain a deeper understanding of the culture.

Culture Week is ideal for those preparing to begin volunteering, internship or a longer journey, offering essential cultural context, orientation and everyday insights that make the transition feel natural. This week-long program can also be enjoyed as a standalone experience. Offered in most of our destinations, these programs provide a well-rounded look at local culture, history and everyday life in a way that feels fun, accessible and engaging..

Through language basics, cooking classes, cultural workshops and guided exploration, participants gain practical knowledge of daily customs, social norms and community life. Time is also built in to explore markets, visit key landmarks, try local food and connect with fellow travelers, creating a relaxed and welcoming start to the journey.

If you’re looking for a thoughtful, well-paced introduction to a new culture, Culture Week is where your journey begins.
